A levitated nanoscale particle in vacuum represents an isolated system where researchers can study the transition between classical and quantum mechanics. It also offers a testbed for building new ...

UNSW engineers have made a significant advance in quantum computing: they created 'quantum entangled states'—where two ...

A qubit encoded in a fluorescent protein could act as a sensor to measure quantum properties inside living systems ...

But when he pitched the idea to his teenage son, Whiteson realized that approach was a bit boring and decided to spice things up using an alien landing. At the heart of the book is a new equation for ...

Stealth bombers like the B-21 Raider still work—but the game is changing. -Quantum radar remains lab-bound, hampered by range and real-world noise, while AI-driven sensor fusion is arriving faster, ...

A hidden world of quantum metrologists ensure that everyday devices perform safely and correctly, but their work is never ...

Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also ...

Imagine if electricity could flow without resistance, or if computers could process data at unimaginable speeds. Achieving ...

The humble inventions that power our modern world wouldn’t have been possible without decades of support for early-stage ...

In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...
